That was on the front page not too long ago, and my question is whether the magic find bonus you can get on gear, most notably nagelring, cain's, and topaz gem in gem, is functionally equivalent to the "Legendary Drop" bonus listed on the above difficulties.
If true, that would be an extra 50%+50%+82% = 182% bonus, or a 56 percent overall increase over the estimated T10 levels, or 40 percent more overall in rifts.
Edit: Thanks BlackcurseLT below for waking me up ;-)
Since MF only contributes a tenth to legendary drop rate, it's negligible - if you have 50% more MF it adds 5% more, so it's 466% instead of 461% on T10 if you add 50% MF. Makes almost no difference.
magic find on gear is divided by 10 to give you legendary drop rate, so 50% is 5% legendary drop rate
Oh lol, I had to IRL laugh at my response. Lack of coffee and sleep... just totally derped out. I'll edit my first post, thanks to pointing that out! In my head I was just thinking about MF and not about legendary drop chance. Yeah, it's only 5%, so negligible.

ModeratorSo with NagelRing+Cain's+Topaz in Leorics (can be easily run in a support monk build):
(50% + 50% + 82%)/10 = 18.2% legendary drop bonus
Assuming T10 rifting that means the realized overall gains on the estimated existing chances would be:
(18.2%+461%) / (461%) = 1.039479
= 4% real increase in leg drop rate, or 26 legs for every 25 i would've gotten otherwise.
Compared to running Sage's instead for more DB's....I think I'll stick with sages. Thanks for the replies!
